Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

If there was anyone who didn't take the betrothal from the Seventh Prince's mansion to heart, it would probably be the female protagonist of this incident.

Chu Yingge quickly forgot about the betrothal gifts.

In the backyard, under the pear tree, on the rocking chair.

Chu Yingge quietly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her mind was constantly thinking about how to make the current situation more favorable to her.

"Wow!"

A basin of cold water was splashed in Chu Yingge's face. Although it was summer, the icy water was still extremely uncomfortable.

Chu Yingge opened her eyes, looked down at her soaked clothes, then at the culprit in front of her, and her eyes suddenly turned icy.

"What are you doing?" The tone was low and menacing; those familiar with Chu Yinge knew this was the prelude to anger.

Zhang snorted coldly. She could overlook everything that had happened before, but now, her precious daughter was locking herself in her room and refusing to come out because of this bitch in front of her. She wouldn't eat or drink anything, which really worried her mother to death.

After thinking it over, I realized that it was this little bitch in front of me who caused all the trouble. I felt a lump in my throat, so I came to teach her a lesson.

"Chu Yingge, I think you've forgotten that I am still the mistress of the Chu family. Even if you are about to become the Seventh Prince's consort, as long as you are not married, you should abide by the Chu family's rules!"

"Madam Prime Minister, I think you've forgotten what happened under this pear tree that day. Would you like me to help you remember?" Chu Yingge's face was filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to strangle Zhang Shi right then and there.

Do you feel that she's been too idle these past few days and hasn't caused any trouble for a while, so you're itching for a beating?

Hearing Chu Yingge's words, Zhang Shi naturally felt embarrassed. What happened that day was a disgrace to her for the rest of her life. It would have been better if Chu Yingge hadn't mentioned it, because the moment she did, the resentment in Zhang Shi's heart only intensified.

"You rebellious daughter, today I will teach you a lesson about the rules of the Prime Minister's residence."

"Did I hear that right?" Chu Yingge got up from the rocking chair and impatiently picked at her ear. "Doesn't the Prime Minister's wife know that in this backyard, I, Chu Yingge, am the rule?"

"What did you say?"

Zhang was immediately enraged, her face trembling. Chu Yingge curled her lip in disgust, thinking that only someone like Chu Tian would be interested in a woman like her.

That makes sense, though; people who are so compatible should naturally be a perfect match.

There's a saying that goes, "What's meant to be will be, and it'll last forever."

"Do you think the Prime Minister's wife can't understand what I'm saying? If you're hard of hearing, go see a doctor. Otherwise, if word gets out, won't people laugh their heads off? The Prime Minister's wife is deaf."

"Guards!" Madam Zhang was no longer willing to waste any more words: "Take this rebellious daughter away!"

As if she had learned from her previous experience, Zhang hid far away after speaking, afraid of hurting herself. After all, the pear tree was still a place with memories for her.

Seeing the servants who suddenly rushed up, Chu Yingge's brows furrowed slightly with displeasure. These people had clearly been switched out; on the surface, they were servants of the Prime Minister's residence, but in reality, they were all top-notch experts.

It seems that Zhang has put in a lot of effort to deal with her.

However, this time she will probably disappoint Zhang again, after all, Chu Yingge is not someone to be trifled with!

"Should we attack together, or all at once?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, probably not expecting that Chu Yingge, a mere weak woman, would utter such arrogant words.

Standing to the side, Zhang was furious: "What are you standing there for? Come at me all at once and take her down!"

"Yes."

Having received Zhang's instructions, these people naturally dared not hesitate and attacked Chu Yingge directly, each move aimed at killing Chu Yingge's strengths.

Although not entirely at ease, she was still able to handle them. With light steps and a slight shift in her body, the long whip in Chu Yin's hand wrapped around the throats of these people.

Each move, each back and forth, resulted in a draw.

Zhang, standing to the side, had a deep gaze. As the mistress of the Prime Minister's mansion, she knew all about the big and small things that happened there, but she didn't know when Chu Yingge had learned martial arts.

If what was just fancy footwork before, now we can see the true skill level.

Although she wasn't particularly skilled in martial arts, she knew that this group of people were handpicked from among hundreds. The fact that so many of them couldn't gain any advantage against Chu Yingge made people suspicious.

Furthermore, given that Yanran clearly killed Chu Yingge by mistake before, how could she be so energetic now and even want to undergo a drastic personality change? Are there some details that I have overlooked?

"stop!"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a deep male voice came from the other side. The servants stopped when they saw the newcomer and stepped aside.

Chu Yingge looked at Chu Moran, who had suddenly appeared, her eyes full of doubt. What was this mother and son putting on in front of her, one after the other?

Zhang was also unwilling to accept this, and walked over to question him, her tone filled with anger: "Mo Ran, what are you doing? Are you going to take her side?"

"Of course not."

Chu Moran's gaze remained fixed on Chu Yingge, never leaving her. He had been observing her from the shadows for quite some time, and his surprise at Chu Yingge's moves went far beyond that.

He was also a martial artist, so he naturally had a thorough understanding of martial arts. Chu Yingge's moves were fierce and had no rules, but each move was deadly. He had never seen such martial arts in the world.

This only increased the number of questions in my mind.

"Ninth Sister, who is your teacher? Why is this martial art something I've never seen before?"

“Young Master, what you’re saying is rather strange. It’s only because you’re ignorant that you haven’t seen this martial art before.” Chu Yingge had a knack for making people angry, especially the phrase “ignorant,” which made Chu Moran’s face turn ugly for a while.

Zhang stepped forward to say something, but Chu Moran stopped her: "Ninth Sister is absolutely right. It seems that I, as her elder brother, am truly ignorant. I will surely broaden my horizons in the future."

"No delivery."

Chu Yingge waved her hand, her intention to dismiss them quite clear. Chu Moran was also someone who could understand her meaning. He nodded slightly to Chu Yingge, turned around, and pulled Zhang Shi away from the backyard.

Watching Chu Moran's departing figure, Chu Yingge's expression turned serious.

Previously, when Chu Moran killed Li Ma in front of so many people from the Chu family branch, she thought Chu Moran was a reckless and impulsive man. But after meeting him today, she found that it wasn't like that at all.

This Chu Moran is truly unpredictable and even more difficult to deal with. It seems she will have to be even more careful in the Prime Minister's residence in the future.

Lowering her head, Chu Yingge brushed her still-dripping clothes aside, frowned, and her face darkened.

She'll get her revenge sooner or later!
